Embodiment Construction
[0027]By way of overview, the present invention provides apparatuses, systems, and methods for magnetically damping movement of a first mass relative to a second mass. In one presently preferred embodiment, the invention generates magnetically induced current to damp movement of the first mass relative to the second mass. This is accomplished through causing movement of a nonferrous member about an axis of a ferrous member, wherein the nonferrous member is coupled to the first mass and the ferrous member is coupled to the second mass (or vice versa). Because the ferrous member and nonferrous member are in close proximity, upon movement an induced current is generated in the nonferrous member that damps movement of the ferrous member, consequently damping movement of the first mass relative to the second mass.
[0028]In another embodiment, the magnetically induced damping effect is accomplished through including an electromagnet to provide variable control over resistance to movement. ...
